Federal Judge Strikes Down Gay-Marriage Ban In Oregon

Federal Judge Strikes Down Gay-Marriage Ban In Oregon. In 2004, voters added a ban on gay marriage to the state constitution. A federal judge said the ban violated the the equal protection clause of the constitution.

Old Rebel, So you think the Supreme Court made the wrong decision in Loving v. Virginia? I bet you would be thrilled to support the voters if they decided you shouldn't be allowed to marry the person you love. Also, Oregon voters support a repeal of the ban on the November ballot by a large margin, so it was going to happen anyway.

More evidence that this fight is nearly over; the GOP Governor of Pa isn't even going to appeal the court decision striking Pa's ssm ban because he thinks its legally futile. He is also in a tough re-election battle and 65% of Pa independents support ssm. If only Beshear had decided not to waste anymore taxpayer money on this futile fight.

Yes, it's true that the debate is pretty much over. Our moral and intellectual superiors in DC have decreed that all of its subjects are equal, and that same-sex "marriage," like multiculturalism, will be imposed on them.

No-one will have same-sex marriage imposed on them. man-woman marriages will still be legal, and every person will be able to choose a marriage partner of either gender who will have them. Guess what, y'all didn't get to break up the country so that you could continue to oppress African-Americans, and you don't get to break up the country so that you can continue to oppress homosexuals.

Former KGB operative and Russian despot Vladimir Putin is just as homophobic as you are, and has instituted laws stripping homosexuals of their rights just like you want to do. In fact, many on the religious right, like Franklin Graham, has lauded his approach. Like you, Vlad doesn't believe in fundamental human rights, but rather the totalitarian power of the volk. So who's the Marxist?

1 - It is not out of an irrational fear that I oppose the homosexual agenda. Instead, I oppose it on the grounds that it is a project of an anti-human, anti-tradition ideology.

2 - I am not "stripping" anyone of any rights. Cultural Marxists seek to undermine Western civilization by re-defining marriage and subverting traditional relations. Their demand for special privileges is something I will not support.

3 - Show me where I have ever joined with F. Graham in praising V. Putin's policies on homosexuals, and you will win a fabulous prize. When you fail to do so, I will expect a groveling apology.

1. Homosexuals are humans, so policies which grant them equal rights are, by definition, not anti-human.

2. Getting married isn't a special privilege. And remember, you are the totalitarian marxist, not me. Not only is Putin homophobic now, the Soviet Union was very homophobic when it existed.

3. You believe that the dictatorship of the masses can deny fundamental human rights to homosexuals. That is exactly what Putin is doing. Frankly, I don't know why you don't support his policies, if in fact you oppose them.
